I can vouch for that. I'm 24 and back in primary school i was one of only two City fans in my class. Just 2. We got bullied every day! I have 2 brothers aged 7 and 11 and around 60-70% of the boys in their classes are City fans. There's even one kid whose dad is a rag but he says "i don't like united, i like City." I was going to say the times are changing, but the truth is, they've already changed!Soulboy said:The most surprising thing for me, both at the match and at the presentation on Monday, was seeing the huge numbers of young fans we have supporting City.
In the dark old days, our support seemed to be made up of grumpy old men, fat bald middle aged men and "lads".
Barely a kid in sight. Even fewer women.
Now we are the definition of diversity!
And we're all the better for it. Our "lost generation" of kids appear to have returned, securing our future.
